Join Our Pack! On a daily basis, we have new foster dogs and cats coming into the system that need medical care, such as insulin, heart meds, allergy meds etc. Won't you be part of the pack and help with a monthly donation?
2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue is primarily a sanctuary for senior and medically needy dogs. Every once in awhile you will see younger dogs but for the most part our dogs live out their life at the ranch at the request of their previous owners or their owners families. We have many sponsorship dogs. Our sponsors love to keep in touch and know how their sponsored fur buddy is doing :) When we have foster families we are thrilled to be able to take adoptable younger dogs :) So if you have ever thought about becoming fosters please feel free to go to our foster/volunteer page and fill out an application. The Ranch located at 737 Taylor Rd., Windsor, PA is always looking for dedicated volunteers that will commit to at least a 2 hour shift per week at the rescue. Volunteers work in play yards, help with laundry and feeding. Some enjoy landscaping or carpentry projects and some like to bake for the healing center visitors :) Thank you for supporting our mission of caring for the elderly and medically needy souls that need us!

They say great things come in small packages. That's me...Zap! I was found by a caring policeman on a street in Philadelphia and put in something called a "shelter". They took good care of me there but I really needed to be on a comfy couch somewhere. Then one day this nice lady from 2nd Chance brought me to my foster mommy & daddy. I'm young so I'm still learning my name and basic commands. I have five siblings of the feline persuasion and my foster mommy says I'm sweet with them. At times my energy overwhelms them but I'm not mean...I just want to play!
Sometimes I love to pitter patter down the sidewalk on my leash and meet new people and sometimes I prefer to chill out in my crate or on the couch with my person. I will be the perfect little sidekick in my forever home!
8/25/14 Update: Zap continues to do well. She went to her first 2nd Chance outing on Saturday...the golf tournament. She did really well around all the people and the other small dogs. She continues to interact very well with kids and cats too. She is learning her name quickly. She also responds well to just a stern "no" when she does something bad...like trying to run off with foster mommy's new slippers! She really enjoys her daily walks so will need someone who can keep her on a routine with them.
Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5. We do not adopt dogs to renters. Some dogs will have fence requirements while others may not.
A pet is a lifetime commitment. The dogs and cats in our system find themselves there, for the most part, because their humans did not have the same loyalty to them as they did to their owners. We do not take the adoption process lightly, and will do everything in our power to make sure the animal is placed correctly the first time around for your sake and theirs. Thank you for choosing to adopt not shop!
